"I believe in Las Vegas. I think its best days are ahead of it. But I'm 
afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United 
States.
...
And I'm saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet 
blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime. And I can 
prove it and I could spend the next 3 hours giving you examples of all of us 
in this market place that are frightened to death about all the new 
regulations, our healthcare costs escalate, regulations coming from left and 
right. A President that seems, that keeps using that word redistribution. 
Well, my customers and the companies that provide the vitality for the 
hospitality and restaurant industry, in the United States of America, they 
are frightened of this administration.And it makes you slow down and not 
invest your money. Everybody complains about how much money is on the side in 
America.

You bet and until we change the tempo and the conversation from Washington, 
it's not going to change. And those of us who have business opportunities and 
the capital to do it are going to sit in fear of the President. And a lot of 
people don't want to say that. They'll say, God, don't be attacking Obama. 
Well, this is Obama's deal and it's Obama that's responsible for this fear in 
America.

The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do 
something to businesses that don't invest, their holding too much money. We 
haven't heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists. Everybody's 
afraid of the government and there's no need soft peddling it, it's the 
truth. It is the truth. And that's true of Democratic businessman and 
Republican businessman, and I am a Democratic businessman and I support Harry 
Reid. I support Democrats and Republicans. And I'm telling you that the 
business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird 
political philosophy of the President of the United States. And until he's 
gone, everybody's going to be sitting on their thumbs."
